John Carpenter's Tales of Science Fiction: Civilians

From 2022 onward, Storm King Productions and John Carpenter present a taut three-issue miniseries that drops ordinary people into extraordinary, hostile circumstances. Written by Duane Swierczynski with art by Andrea Mutti, Civilians explores the terrifying premise of everyday citizens confronting an otherworldly threat with no special training or backup. This grounded, character-driven entry in the Tales of Science Fiction line distills Carpenter’s signature tension into a lean, survival-horror story where the only weapons are ingenuity and desperation.
